President Blames Media for Bad Image
Semi-News/Semi-Satire ^ | 21 Jan 2012 | John Semmens

Posted on 01/22/2012 2:01:41 PM PST by John Semmens

President Obama laid the blame for impressions that he is “cold and aloof” at the feat of what he called “a largely hostile media.”

“It’s lonely at the top,” Obama complained. “The average person has plenty of equally situated people who share similar day-to-day experiences. But who shares what I go through on a daily basis? I’m one-of-a-kind. No one is my equal. I can’t hang out with anyone without having to reach down to a lower social strata.”

“Instead of praising my magnificence, though, the media foments criticism and complaints,” Obama continued. “A person reading a newspaper or watching TV is given the impression that pretty much anyone has the right to criticize anything I’ve done or might do. I’m not saying that everyone has to like what I do, but if they can’t say something nice, why say anything at all? Where have people’s manners gone? Where’s the civility of discourse and show of deference to one’s betters that leaders used to be able to count on from those they rule?”

In related news, the BLT Restaurant chain used the occasion of a visit by the First Family to add an entree called the “Obama Burger” to its menu. The burger is a Kobe beef patty served with bacon and cheese at a price of $28. The chain characterized it as a “burger fit for a king.” Both the President and First Lady bypassed the burger and ordered an $81 steak. “Why would a king eat a burger when he could have a steak?” Michelle asked.

Sadly, this doesn’t seem like satire at all. I envision this is how barry actually thinks. Omama isn’t all that schmart....like those Geico Caveman guys.

“President Blames Media for Bad Image”

“Thanks” would be more like it. If it weren’t for them
running interference his image would be terrible.

LOL I’m glad he knows his place. No one else knows for sure how he got up on that post.

I can’t believe he ACTUALLY SAYS this stuff.

Given that the subhead is "Semi-News/Semi-Satire," I'm betting that he didn't actually say it.

Of course, I bet the Niners giving 2, so what do I know.
